City Council Meeting Minutes September 3, 2019 <br />shopping center burn building, six story tower burn building, technical rescue <br />area, hazardous material prop, car fire prop, fuel container prop, outdoor <br />classrooms, and driving skills pad. <br />Council held discussion regarding the language of the bond election ballot <br />regarding the fire facilities and there was concern of the amount of funding <br />needed for completion of the fire training facility. <br />On October 3, 2016, the city adopted Resolution 2016-136R which set aside <br />certain land on Hwy 21 for a future fire training facility and possible future fire <br />station. <br />The bond passed by the voters in May of 2017 included funds to build a Fire <br />Training Field (Capital cost $2M): <br />• Residential and high rise live fire training <br />• Rope and trench rescue <br />• Confined space rescue <br />• Vehicle extrication <br />• Fire, police, and EMS integrated response training. <br />Chief Stephens explained the Bond approval was for the master plan and phase <br />one. The intent is to set the framework for the facility and to meet the <br />immediate needs of the department. The first phase would include <br />construction, paving the new drive crossing culvert, connection to the prop <br />which would include a two-story residence burn building. All future phases will <br />be constructed as funding becomes available. This project is a phased in <br />approach. <br />Mayor Hughson asked that an overview be provided to Council regarding the <br />requirements to put the Master Plan in place, including water and sewer lines, <br />and a list of exactly what we will get with the 1.8 million that Chief Stephens <br />discussed. <br />Mr. Parker provided a brief update on the library addition and revision. The <br />overall site plan and floor plan of the library includes: <br />• Complete renovation of existing space <br />• New addition more than doubles usable space <br />• Large meeting room to hold groups of 200+ people <br />• 10+ multipurpose meeting rooms and study spaces <br />• Expanded lobby/additional congregation space at new entrance <br />City of San Marcos Page 5 <br />
